500-MILE FANS HAVE MANY ANGLES TO DISCUSS

Rivalry at High Pitch

Former Winners Gird for Battle Against Aces of New School. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS There are so many interesting angles connected with the running of the 1932 Indianapolis Motor Speedway classic May 30, that the speed-loving railbirds doubtless will be hard-pressed for time to discuss all of the points that will be brought out during practice days and on the day of the 500-mile grind on the roaring way. There will be the age-old competition between the old and new school of drivers; the usual match between front and rear drive cars further complicated this year bythree four-wheel drive entries: the battle between the four, six, eight and sixteen cylinder jobs and last, the most Interesting contest within the big rate, the fight between the factory entered, semi-stock cars and the expensive, special speed creations. Faur Former Kings Four former winners add color o the classic this year, L. L. Corum >f the old school, who was co-win-ner wit the late Joe Boyer in 1924; Louis Meyer, who won in 1928: Billy Arnold. heavy-footed youngster, aho was victor in 1930. and Louis ■Schneider, last year's winner, who aces the opportunity of doing something no otner driver has accomplished. winning in consecutive .tears or of duplicating Tommy Milons still standing two-win record. Milton won in 1921 and 1923. Competing with these and other veterans will be a number of new Pilots. the most prominent being Bob Carey. Anderson 'lnd.> bov. who has been burning up the smaller tracks, twice broke the 100mile dirt 'rack record and is makng his first start at Indianapolis. Tours Promise Excitement Ten fours, two sixes, fifty-five eights and four sixteens are on the entry list with the eights in the majority. A few of the fours have given splendid performances and expert.! predict they will be fast on the Hoosier bricks. Bryan Saulpaugh has a sixteencylinder job and some observers will offer a little bet he may take the pole position in the qualifying rounds. Leon Durav, who has one of the most powerful motors ever to j run at Indianapolis, developed heat- ; ing trouble last May but has rem- J edied it this year and promises to ! run his sixteen-cylinder two-cycle job at dizzy speed. A five-car team from Studebaker; j two Hudson-entered jobs and anew Hupmobile will supply the acknowledged stock-car competition.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY t'nltrd Prw BtH Corrr*i>andpnt LOUISVILLE. Ky. May 9.—Burgoo King, the horse who drew his name from the broth df the Bluegrass country, today had a niche in the turf hall of fame and a flying start toward the 3-vear-old championship of 1932. Winning as he pleased in a flying dash down the stretch. Burgoo King Saturday captured the fifty-eighth Kentucky Derby, gave Colonel E. R. Bradley of Lexington. Ky.. his third Derby triumph, and became the second son of a Derby winner ever to follow in the wake of his daddy. Colonel Bradley, master of the Idle Hour farm, had seen his green and white silks twice run one-two prior to the 1932 Derby. This time they rail first and last, making Colonel Bradley the first owner ever to

win three Derbies. Brother Joe, his other entryfinished nineteenth in field of twenty, which was the equivalent of last place inasmuch as Liberty Limited, the Three D’s entry, broke down in the back stretch and did not finish officially. Burgoo King, son of Bubbling Over. 1926 Derby winner, won byfive lengths, running a mile and a quarter in 2 minutes, 5 1-5 seconds. I Slow time in comparison to Twenty Grand's Derby record of 2:01-3-5 last year, but considerably above the average speed made since the Derby distance was reduced from a mile and a half to a mile and a quarter in 1896. Only Four Show Class Until Burgoo King flashed over } the line first, the only other son of a Derby winner to repeat his sire's triumph was Alan-A-Dale, 1902 winner, whose daddy was Halma. 1895 champion. Burgoo King was shipped with other horses from Colonel Bradley's i stables to Belmont park, and if he works well in training he probably will be shipped to Pimlico to run Saturday in the Preakness. second of the big 3-year-old races. Out of the Derby field, only four horses looked like Preakness con- ! tenders—Burgoo King; Economic, second place winner: Stepenfetchit, : third, and Brandon Mint, fourth. Tick On, the Derby favorite, which finished sixth, had some bad racing luck, being shut ofl several times. But he did not look like a real contender for the 3-year-old championship. However, until Saturday, Burgoo King wasn't a highly regarded horse. Laverne Fator. veteran jockey who had the choice of the Bradley mounts, picked Brother Joe, and let little. Eugene James, 19-year-old Louisville boy, ride Burgoo King. Asa 2-ycar-old Burgoo King won only four races out of twelve starts. Retting Takes Drop In piloting Burgoo King to victory, James was making his second start on a Bradley horse since the Kentucky colonel had purchased his contract formerly held by the late Joseph Lelter. Buddy Ensor, the veteran attempting a comeback after almost seven years out of the saddle, got Stepenfetdhit up to third place and almost beat Economic for the show. Earl Sande, on Overtime, however, fini ished out of the money in fifth place. Although a crowd estimated at 45.000 and virtually as large as last year's saw the Derby, wagering dropped almost 50 per cent. Only $277,105 was bet in comparison w-ith $349,454 last year. A total of $850,819 wa.s wagered on the seven rac®s in comparison to $1,377,208 last year.

By Timet Specie I MINNEAPOLIS, May 9.—Emmet M.-Cann's Indians were league leaders again today as they Invaded Nicollet park to open a four-game series with Ownie Bush's Millers and the funny part of the situation is the fact Hoosiers regained the top berth without playing since Friday.
